“Good 3 star hotel. Lounge not worth visiting for food”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

Windows can be opened. No minibar in room but you can have one delivered.
Executive lounge serves very basic and simple breakfast and snacks in the evening.
Drinks are not free and come with crazy prices if you consider that you already did pay for executive lounge access and you have self service.
The only benefit in executive rooms are two free small bottles of water.
Room 1126 was offered as junior suite which it is not. You can not watch tv in bed.
For an extra payment of $ 8,- you can "enjoy" the Am breakfast buffet in the restaurant which is for international visitors a big disappointment. It has nothing in common with Hilton breakfast in Africa, Asia and Europe where chefs and pastry chefs show their skills at buffet.
Altogether for US businessmen and tourists the Hilton capital is sufficient.
The fact that apart from BBC there is no other international tv program as CCTV, AL Jazeera, RT, NHK, TV5, DW-TV or arirang shows clearly that like in most HIlton in the US foreigners are not welcome.

“Exceeded expectations because......”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 29, 2012

Stayed at the Capital Hilton on business. They charge $300 a night for a 'deluxe queen' and will 'fee' you for everything from WIFI (note: PER DEVICE) as well as $15 a day gym fee (unless a Silver HHonors member). The place is not the most glamourous I've stayed at - from the outside, it looks very boxy and like a dorm room hall. The lobby is very simple. However, the hotel is very clean and the staff are very friendly. The rooms are pretty small from what I'm used to however, this is a city. Just keep in mind (here's a visual.....) when you're going to the bathroom, the bathroom door handle when open, will be right in your face. Yes, the room is tight. Shower is standard without a massage and the water takes a while to heat up - I was nervous that it wouldnt' get hot after showering different times during the week. It did, just slow. Pressure fair. Nice makeup/ighted mirror. Room Sevice 18% + a $5 fee. I complimented the chef on the goat cheese/artichoke ravioli with mushroom sauce/spinach. Delicious - I actually got it twice. The bed linens are very soft and feel upscale/comfortable. All fixtures are modern and new. TV is 40" flatscreen. No TVland LOL. The gym (name is MINT) - is conveniently attached as well as a small spa. Free USA Today. Overall a great experience - convenient to office as well as tourist attractions.

Room Tip: Some rooms have a view that when you look out, look directly into another room - so be aware that th...

“Excellent location. Good service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012 via mobile

The location is outstanding. Just a fewblocks from the White House and the National Mall. The hotel is just like any other Hilton. Similar amenities. Good fitness center. The room is spacious. To the Hotel manager: please replace or clean the shower curtains.

“Close to White House”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012

Stayed here for the FSU v. Maryland game. 2 blocks from white house and walking distance to everything in town. If you want to get to Arlington, it is easy to jump on the metro. Nice staff and rooms. Doormen nice and everyone is not looking for a tip around every corner. Nice restaurants are close (even a gentlemen's club across street if wife wants to partake and make hubby happy). Will definitely stay there again. Good prices compared to other hotels nearby. Had to pay 15 bucks for the gym, wife wasnt too happy about that. Took Super Shuttle from Reagan to hotel, not a bad price.
